Recently Hollywood are taking anime and turning them into live action movies. While some of the movies are looking really horrible, some might have a chance. If you compare the comments for each of the movies, even if their responding to the trailer, there’s a similarity. Fans are complaining the characters in the live action movie do not look like the characters in the anime.
Lets take The Last Airbender movie as an example. In the anime, Aang has a blue downward arrow on his forehead. In the movie, there’s an arrow but it’s more of a tattoo.
Now what if they decided to make it blue, and very noticeable like in the anime. If you look at the image I posted, I hope you agree it looks plain stupid. To me, I like the idea of the arrow being a tattoo. It seem more realistic.
What fans are forgetting is that not everything can be translated into the big screen. Some things need to be changed to make it work.
